A boy accidentally loses his sister's shoes at the local grocery store. Unable to face his stern father with the news, the two siblings exchange a single pair of sneakers between them to get to and from school. A cross country race offers a new pair of sneakers as a prize and the boy attempts to win it, well actually come in third. A simple story from Iran, beautifully told, if a bit predictable in the end.
